NOTES:

Note 1: Selling of units by the Management Company (i.e. when you purchase units and invests in the Fund)

and redemption of units by the Management Company (i.e. when you redeem your units and liquidate your

investments) will be carried out at NAV per unit (the actual value of a unit). The entry/ exit fee (if any) would

be computed separately based on your net investment/ liquidation amount.

Note 2: MER is calculated based on the total fees and expenses incurred by the Fund, divided by the average

net asset value calculated on a daily basis.

Note 3: PTR is computed based on the average of the total acquisitions and total disposals of the investment

securities of the Fund, divided by the average net asset value calculated on a daily basis.

Note 4: Fund performance figures are calculated based on NAV to NAV and assume reinvestment of

distributions (if any) at NAV. The total return and the performance benchmark are sourced from Lipper.

Unit prices and distributions payable, if any, may go down as well as up. Past performance of the

Fund is not an indication of its future performance.

F U N D R E V I E W

For the quarter ending 30 June 2017, the Fund posted an annualized return of 9.26% against the

benchmark Maybank’s 12 mths FD rate of 3.14%. The portfolio outperformed the benchmark as this

highly concentrated portfolio was supported by a low and accommodative domestic interest rates

environment. In addition, credit quality of the sole issue in the portfolio remains strong. At end of

June 2017, cash accumulated as part of the security amounted to RM19.6 million or 65.4% of the

outstanding issued (RM30.0 million). Taking a ‘fire sale’ value of 50% of the charged properties,

total security coverage stands at 110.2% of outstanding.

As a result of the tight structure of the bond, we remain confident of the going concern of the issuer

and their ability to fulfill its financial obligation to the fund. We continue to monitor their credit

quality regularly and rigorously.

The Fund achieved its objective to offer investor regular income and incidental capital appreciation

based on current market investment opportunities.

The Fund has invested as the sole investor in Iconic Vacation Club Berhad’s (IVCB) Medium Term

Note (MTN) programme. Areca Capital Sdn Bhd, the Manager of the Fund, was appointed by IVCB

as the fund manager to manage the redemption account under the IVCB MTN programme. As at

the date of the report, the Manager was not aware of any conflict of interest arising from the above.

Investment Policy and Strategy

The Fund invests wholly in a single fixed income investment.

MARKET REVIEW & OUTLOOK

ECONOMIC REVIEW&OUTLOOK

There has been a significant rise in geopolitical risk this quarter. It began with US retaliatory bombing

of Syria for alleged usage of chemical weapons, then dropping the ‘mother of all bombs’ in Afghanistan

targeting ISIS and their underground tunnels before a series of jabs and counter jabs of ‘sabre-rattling’

with North Korea. Thankfully, across the Atlantic, Emmanuel Macron won the French Presidential

elections, taming fears of France following the path of the British in exiting the EU if his opponent Le

Pen had won.

Despite Trump’s inability to carry out his campaign promises of building the border wall and replacing

Obamacare, optimism continue to swirl within Wall Street with the Dow Jones hitting all time high

breaking above 21500 mid-June. It continued to ride on the prospects of a Trump inspired expansionary

fiscal plan and anticipated tax reforms. Inflation tapered down since reaching a five year high at 2.7%

in February with 2.2%, 1.9% and 1.6% from April to June. Meanwhile Unemployment hit a sixteen year

low at 4.3% in May. The Federal Reserve Committee followed up this uptick in sentiment with the

second ¼% rate hike in June. They further expressed their readiness to trim the Federal Reserve’s

asset portfolio of US$4.5 trillion in a gradual, non-disruptive and orderly manner.

China’s GDP grew 6.9% in the second quarter following a similar rate in previous one. They maintain a

full year (2017) projection of 6.5% ahead of their National People’s Congress in October. Reserves have

also increased to near USD3.06 trillion as at end June while reclaiming top US debtholder position

following imposition of capital controls on outflows and a series of US Treasuries’ buying sprees. China

continues to fix their niggling problems of rising debt, property inflation and capital outflows in the

process of manoeuvring her economy to be one of consumption based.

In Malaysia, inflation has since eased to 3.6% in June following March’s 100 mths high of 5.1%.

Meantime 1Q GDP registered a strong 5.6% growth aided by favourable trade data, manufacturing and

encouraging domestic consumption. Foreign Reserves increased to USD99.8 billion (or RM424.9 bil)

from USD95.4 bil (or RM422.2 bil) in earlier quarter. Bank Negara Malaysia as expected kept the

Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) unchanged at 3% throughout this quarter amidst General elections

rumours.

FIXED INCOME MARKET REVIEW & OUTLOOK

Trading in a lower 2.12-2.41% range this quarter, traders of US treasury yield may not share the same

exuberance as suggested by the effervescent stock market of the US economy. The hike in June left a

few to question if inflation target of 2% can be achieved. The jury is out there as to whether the

economy is able to sustain beyond this year. Moreover, to support the Federal Reserve’s aim to unwind

their bond holdings position, rates cannot rise aggressively. Meanwhile, all the other major economies

left benchmark rates unchanged this quarter.

This period under review also saw a reversal of capital outflows. Foreign holdings of our sovereign debt

totaled RM178.0 bil at end June versus RM162.3 bil at end of last quarter. This net increase of RM15.7

bil is in contrast with first quarter’s net outflow of RM37.6 bil. Percentage holdings of total outstanding

debt rose to 26.6% from 24.9% amidst lower government bond supply and improving economic data.

The market remains expectant of one more rate hike in the US which is likely to occur late this year

provided balance sheet shrinking exercise commences.

In the EU, there is growing optimism towards the regions recovery. If unemployment continue to

improve while growth picks up, scaling back quantitative easing may begin before the year is up

As for Malaysia, narrower disposable income as a result higher cost push inflation coupled with the

imminent 14th General Elections which has to occur by June next year, interest rates will likely stay low

and accommodative. Statutory Reserve cut is an available tool if a boost is required.

Credit risk management

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for

the Fund by failing to discharge an obligation. The Fund is exposed to the risk of credit-related

losses that can occur as a result of a counterparty or issuer being unable or unwilling to honour

its contractual obligations to make timely repayments of interest, principal and proceeds from

realisation of investments.

The Manager manages the Fund’s credit risk by undertaking credit evaluation and close monitoring

of any changes to the issuer/counterparty’s credit profile to minimise such risk. It is the Fund’s

policy to enter into financial instruments with reputable counterparties.

The Fund’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each class

of financial assets recognised in the statement of financial position. None of the Fund’s financial

assets were past due or impaired as at 30th June, 2017.

The Fund invests only in unquoted investments of at least investment grade as rated by a credit

rating agency.

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk is defined as the ease with which a security can be sold at or near its fair value

depending on the volume traded on the market. The Fund manages its liquidity risk by investing

predominantly is securities that it expects to be able of being converted into cash with 7 days.

Market risk management

This is a class of risk that inherently exists in an economy and cannot be avoided by any business

or company. It is usually due to changes in the economic outlook and affects broad market

confidence. This risk cannot be removed from an investment portfolio, which is solely invested

within that particular market, by diversification.

Therefore, as the Fund presently invests only in Malaysian fixed income securities, the

performance of the Fund might go up or down in accordance with the prevailing market risk of

Malaysia.

Interest rate risk management

This risk related to movements in the direction of the interest rates that will cause the value of

the securities to fluctuate. The Fund seeks to manage this risk by constructing a fixed income

portfolio with sufficient diverse range of maturities in accordance to the interest rate strategies

developed after thorough evaluation of macroeconomic variables. As interest rates and yield

curves change over time, the Fund may be exposed to a loss in earnings due to the effects of

interest rates on the structure of the statement of financial position.

Price risk management

Price risk is the risk of unfavourable changes in the fair value of unquoted fixed income securities

as the result of changes in the level of the equity indices and the value of individual securities.

The price is risk exposure arises from the Fund’s investment in unquoted securities.

Price risk sensitivity

Management’s best estimate of the effect on the income for the year due to a reasonably possible

change in price, with all other variables held constant is indicated in the table below:

earnings. The amount of equity can change significantly on a daily basis as the Fund is subject to

daily subscriptions and redemptions at the discretion of unitholders. The Fund’s objective when

managing capital is to safeguard the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to
